# How to Replace the Soap Dispenser on a GE Dishwasher
GE dishwasher doors, like all other dishwashers, have a soap dispenser. The soap dispenser holds the dishwasher detergent until it is time for the soap to be released. The timer tells the door to open up at the correct moment. If the timer is not faulty, but the soap dispenser refuses to open even after being cleaned, the dispenser will need to be replaced. Contact GE for the correct replacement part for your dishwasher model.
